Wang Xuan wondered if he would be attacked when the ancient ship in space received this information and images and returned one day. He had a feeling that he had unwittingly walked into a trap.

Forget it, he decided not to think about it anymore; there was no need to worry about things that hadn't happened yet.

"What exactly is the state of their spiritual light as they enter the passage?" He wondered if he should conduct some experiments and perhaps bring... an enemy in to test it out.

He felt it was too risky to bring his own people in, but bringing enemies was fine; he could just kill them without any qualms.

He still had to go into the Misty Land and the Meteorite Passage. Firstly, he hadn't broken through the barrier yet and needed to improve his strength. Secondly, he felt that this matter was not yet over.

"I always thought it was my backyard, how could such a terrifying event have occurred here?"

Of course, Wang Xuan didn't go in immediately. He wanted to take a break, calm himself down, and look around, hoping to bring an enemy along on the way.

Over the next two days, Wang Xuan spent a considerable amount of time at Huang Ming's teahouse, eagerly seeking an opponent in the Supernatural Domain.

Unfortunately, he didn't encounter any adversaries. Since the advent of the New Testament, all sides have exercised restraint, and few have dared to cause trouble in the Old Earth.

Especially after Zheng Yuantian died, Heng Jun collapsed, and its followers scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. A group of people who had previously opposed Wang Xuan all disappeared without a trace.

"Old Earth, New Star, it's so peaceful now, no supernatural beings running rampant, no demons causing trouble?" Wang Xuan sighed.

"The martial world is more than just fighting and killing. What era are we living in? Mythical beings are very particular. Why cause trouble when you know it's impossible? In a few months, everyone will be reset to zero. You and I are just ordinary people. Instead of seizing the future, we go and fight. How vulgar."

Zhou Qinghuang spoke up. She was a regular here. Although she knew that Wang Xuan could even handle the White Tiger Girl, she wasn't too wary and remained natural.

This actually made Wang Xuan feel more at ease. If his increased strength caused some people to fear him, he would feel uncomfortable and there was no need for it.

"Yes, these days, all the extraordinary individuals are trying to make a living on their own, and many are busy doing business," Cao Qingyu remarked, his earlier hostility towards Wang Xuan long gone.

Wang Xuan nodded, somewhat lost in thought. This group of people adapted really quickly. He began to reflect on himself. If he couldn't continue on the path of the new mythology in seven or eight months and returned to mediocrity, what would become of him?

Although he remained confident that he could do it and find a way out, at least he could keep his extraordinary spirit burning.

But after a journey through a hazy, uncertain world, he began to waver. There was something seriously wrong with that path. He even wondered if anyone in ancient times had also made it there and ultimately failed.

Did the magic flower naturally take root there?

"Actually, I always thought that place was inside my body, related to my flesh and blood, and corresponded to the Real World. But now it seems that there are all sorts of possibilities. It is possible that there is an unknown Great World."

He put those thoughts aside; there was no point in dwelling on them now. He needed to find a way to solve the problem, or even traverse the meteorite path to see the truth!

Wang Xuan realized with dismay that he truly had no enemies left in the Old Earth, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Am I now invincible?"

Even Qi Liandao isn't crazy anymore. When he saw him, he was very well-behaved and polite. Of course, he didn't call him "uncle," since he was, after all, the Demon Ancestor's Progeny.

He realized that the real enemies now were all at the level of unparalleled experts; once they appeared, it would be a matter of life and death for him.

"A mysterious, otherworldly figure. If I were to take him to the Land of Nothingness, he would kill me in a heartbeat. I can't take him down for now."

"What do you want with the enemy?" Huang Ming asked him as he personally brought him the finest extraordinary tea.

"I have some doubts on my path of cultivation and would like to verify them," Wang Xuan replied absentmindedly.

"Damn it!" The people present immediately understood. This guy wanted to kill someone. No wonder he was looking for his enemies. If he got caught, he wouldn't have a good ending.

The news spread that very day, and Wang Xuan searched the world for test subjects, hoping to verify the extraordinary path.

"Everyone, don't walk into the line of fire, or he'll kill you!"

In just one day, both the New Star and the Old Earth knew about it, and many Supernatural Practitioner had previously behaved rather unconventionally suddenly became kind and benevolent.

Some extraordinary individuals even went to do volunteer work, feeling extremely uneasy because their past experiences were not very glamorous and they were close to crossing the line, so they were now terrified.

Nowadays, everyone knows that Wang Fengzi is powerful and ruthless. He has killed even the Peerless Disciple, and he didn't hesitate to cut down even a fairy like Gu Mingxi, who is famous in the immortal realm, leaving several bloody holes in her body.

In the end, Wang Xuan still reaped the rewards.

When the Mo Si arrived, he brought two people with him and made it clear to him that they were his enemies.

"Those two are Zheng Yuantian's grand-disciples, and they swore to find an opportunity to kill you. I had someone bring them out of the immortal realm."

Wang Xuan was speechless. How could this be possible? Sending gifts to an enemy, and even getting them through connections behind the behind the Great Curtain. He didn't know what to say.

"Alright, thank you." He didn't want to explain to Mo Si for the time being. If he thought Demon Four was the Demon Emperor's sleeping spiritual coffin, then let the misunderstanding continue.

That evening, Wang Xuan set off again, having Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu set up various surveillance devices, both near and far, in a very secure manner.

This time, Old Chen didn't dare to be there. He was afraid that he would really be driven to his death and then he would have nowhere to cry. Especially since he was going to become a father in a few months, it was better to play it safe!

At night, after Wang Xuan had dealt with the two enemies thoroughly, he took their half-dead souls into the Life Land and set off again.

"Look, it glowed, then dimmed, about to disappear!"

Not only were there various monitoring devices, but Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu were also watching from a distance. When they saw this scene, they found it outrageous and unbelievable.

"Did he manage to disappear during his training? Look, he's been swallowed by the void, he's really gone!"

A perfectly healthy person simply vanished without a trace, which was extremely strange and made Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu very worried, fearing that he would never come back.

"There seemed to be chanting just now, faint and intermittent, it came out in an instant." Chen Yongjie vaguely heard it, but he was afraid it was a hallucination.

As for Qing Mu, he was completely unaware.

Deep in space, inside an ancient spaceship, the beautiful and delicate face of the Demon Lord Yanyan froze, and that strange feeling returned.

Her spiritual light spread, then faded into nothingness, dimming in a patch, and her long red dress seemed to have been engulfed in a terrible Fire Calamity.

"This time, you dared to pull my skirt..." She was too embarrassed to say the word "skirt," and just said in a mix of shame and anger, "You're asking for trouble, you're doing it again, you're finished!"

"He's here, he's here, he's really here!" The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor clicked his tongue in disbelief. He felt it was outrageous. Who was this person who kept trying to turn him into nothingness?

Old Zhang looked utterly hopeless, wanting to break the seal on the broken bronze mirror, but in the end he held back, not in a hurry!

Fang Yuzhu was glowing, with ripples enveloping her. She sat down cross-legged, silently deducing and pondering.

In the celestial realm, a figure shrouded in silver robes, exuding a somber aura, stood atop a cloud, uttering a voice devoid of emotion. "Some once attempted to reverse reality and illusion, to transform the withered myths of illusion into the realm of reality, hoping that the eternal night of the extraordinary would finally dawn and become eternal day. Alas, they suffered a crushing defeat. Now, there are still those who dare to venture into this realm, turning illusion into reality and reality into illusion."

Wang Xuan's experiment was not very successful. After taking people in and making various observations, he could not see any changes or differences in the Land of Nothingness.

He experimented in every way and found that the two were really useless. The last one died in the red clouds, and the other was burned to ashes as soon as he entered the meteorite crater.

Not long after, Wang Xuan returned, but he gained almost nothing, except for bringing back another tattered piece of a red dress.

His physical body vaguely appeared, then became clear, and appeared in the same spot, making Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu breathe a sigh of relief; nothing unexpected had happened.

"What... did you tear off another piece of that burned dress?" Chen Yongjie's eyes were strange. Where did he go? Did he see the Demon Lord? How could he do something like that and still come back alive?

Qing Mu was speechless, his eyes wide open.

Wang Xuan said, "What are you two thinking? I just want to see if I can bring some items back to the Real World this time to verify and solve some mysteries!"

"Alright, stop explaining!"

On that day, deep in the universe, the spiritual light of the Demon Lord and others returned, and the red dress that had been almost burned began to recover. Then, the Demon Lord Yanyan's mentality exploded, and another piece of the dress was missing!

"Demon Lord, your skirt is torn!" Zhang Daoling pointed out bluntly.

"Let's go, out of the warehouse! We have to fight! I'll make sure you're crushed!" Demon Lord Yanyan had her sights set on him, determined to vent her anger on Old Zhang. Today, she had reached her breaking point, but she couldn't find any enemies—something that had never happened before, and she simply couldn't stand it.

"I don't want to take action." Zhang Daoling refused directly, then added, "I have some guesses about this matter, let me tell you about them."

Fang Yuzhu immediately looked at the mirror in his hand, and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor also became interested.

"It's related to the Sky-Veiling Mirror. Do you know what that treasure was based on? A scripture, a special and wondrous scripture. I suspect that someone has been practicing this scripture in a mysterious place recently, and together with other special elements, it has triggered signs of an impending catastrophe."

The mechanical bird flapped its wings and flew over, saying, "The great Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, the peerless Fairy Fang, the wise and mighty Ancestor Zhang, and the stunningly beautiful Miss Yanyan, just now, the mothership received an encrypted message."

"Analysis," the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor said, feeling quite satisfied as its master.

"Oh my god, pictures don't lie! The case is solved! Your troubles are gone!" the mechanical bird exclaimed dramatically, boasting about its success.

In the Old Earth, at night, Wang Xuan meditated, bringing his mind and body to a state of utmost clarity, and began to seriously ponder this matter, which he still hadn't fully understood.

Old Chen said, "Unfortunately, that ancient spaceship is deep in space, too far away. We'll probably have to wait a few days for news."

"I hope they can answer my questions." Wang Xuan nodded, then meditated again, his mind clear, studying the issues of illusion and reality, truth and falsehood.

"The Great Universe Error Correction and the collapse of the Supernatural World correspond to the illusory. The reappearance and continuation of mythology correspond to the real. Everything is in the transition between the illusory and the real."

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment and came up with a new idea.

"What lies within the grand curtain is illusion; the immortal bones remaining in the mortal world are reality. Illusion once substituted for reality, thus avoiding the five signs of decay in celestial beings..."

He kept thinking, and more ideas popped up.

"The Earthly Branch of Fate cannot be found within the human body; it is illusory. Yet mythology begins with this illusory Earthly Branch. Is it destined to be an illusion? The Real World is real..."

Suddenly, Wang Xuan sensed something. In this state of clarity, he could perceive the malice beyond the endless void, something he had sensed before.

"Hmm, he's here again!" Wang Xuan noticed that in a very distant place, another pair of scarlet eyes had opened, spying on him again, filled with coldness, greed, and possessiveness, which was very creepy.

Meanwhile, from another direction, a divine light shone, and the shadows of a man and a woman were chanting scriptures.

"Can you protect him for a while, or for a lifetime?" The scarlet eyes spoke from the endless void.

In his clear state, Wang Xuan actually heard this voice filled with strong malice!

"Ha, you can't find me. Right now, I'm in space, constantly changing location. Don't give me the chance in the future, or I'll swallow you both!"

The opening and closing of his scarlet eyes was extremely unsettling, and his words were chilling, giving off a cruel and ruthless feeling. From there, a blood-dripping chain extended, approaching Wang Xuan.

Soon after, a golden figure appeared in the darkness, also spying on Wang Xuan with a cold and frightening gaze.

Wang Xuan sensed something new: two mysterious and terrifying beings were eyeing him!

"Is this troublesome curse a shackle and cage woven by the light of the soul? Can I take advantage of my current special state to turn their light of the soul into nothingness and kill them in the meteorite passage, dealing with them in a targeted way?" Wang Xuan really wanted to try; these two mysterious creatures were going too far!
